Grains Of Gold.

Never be in an uniting hurry.
Persevere against discouragement.
Judge others feelings by your own.
Think nothing in conduct uDimport-
ant or Indifferent.
The smallest act of charity shall stand
us In great stead.
Life is too short to be spent in mind>
ing other peoples interests.
Manner is something with everybody,
and everything with some.
There is no better excess In the world
than the excess of gratitude.
Many men are good in intentions, but
unhappy in their applications.
limitations and sham in any character
ale but synonyms for weakness.
Raillery Is mode of speaking in IA
yor of ones wit against ones good na+
ture.
Outlines the blackness which we be-
lieve we see In others is only our own
shadow.
An able man shows his spirit BY gem
tie words and resolute actions; he is
neither bot nor timid.
There are many people who think that
Sunday is sponge to wipe out all the
sins of the week.
The shame that arises from praise
which we do not deserve often makes
us do things we never should otherwise
have attempted.
That action is not warrantable which
either bushes to beg blessing, or. hav>
ing succeeded, docs not present thanks
giving.
Follow the counsel of no one who al
ways knows how it is done and never
did it. 1t is much better to do we'll than
to say we'll.
God is present in the conscience of
good and bad. He is there remem
brance to call our actions to mind, and
witness to bring to judgment.
Praise has different effects, according
to the mind 1t meets with; il makes a
wise man modest, but a fool more AFRO
CANT. turning his weak brain giddy.
1t is cowardice to wish to get rid Of
everything which we do not like. Sick
ness and sorrow only exist to further
mans education in this world. They
will not be needed In the future.
A kind voice is like iark's song to a
hearth and home. Boys and girls, use
your guests voice at home. Watch it
day by day, for it will be worth more to
you in the time to come than the best
pearl hid in the sea.
Avoid flstterers, for they are thieves
in disguise; they are the worst of crea-
lures; they lie to flatter, and fatter to
cheat; and. which is worse, if you be-
lieve them you cheat yourself most dan
gerously.

personal and unbusiness-like. We call
upon the people of Ohio to turn out of
power State Government whose only
apparent mission is to augment expend-
itures, multiply Offices, create de6cien .
cies and increase taxation, with the
bankruptcy of the treasury as the ulti'
mate result.
We denounce the late Republican
Legislature for its cowardly and hypo4
critical alliance, through intrigue with
the Republican Board of Public Works
and Republican Attorney General. in a
scheme whereby millions of dollars
worth of the property of the State is to
be transferred to the corporations intert
ested in creating monopoly Of trans.
portation, without the State or people
thereof receiving any benefit theIefrom.
ONE MORE JOKE.
We demand the fullest safeguards for
the ballot box. the punishment of all
who seek to corrupt. and the enactment
of law making it felony for corpora
tions. capitalists and employers to in
timidate or attempt to control the polit-
ical action of their employees.
We favor home rule In the manage
meut and control of municipal affairs.
and denOunce the partisan acts passed
by late Republican Legislatures to sub
serve the interest of scheming politicians
and we demand the repeal Of all laws
which deprive electors of the exercise
of their constitutional privileges.
COMMON CARRIERS.
The commercial and industrial inter-
ests of the State require that equal use
of all transportation facilities be secured
on equal terms. and we demand that fa>
voritism by common carriers and en-
ployment of corporate franchises to
foster monopolies and oppress the peo-
pie be prohibited, and that pools, combi+
nations. trusts or conspiracies to corner
or forestall the market, and to fetter or
crush free competition. be suppressed
by legislation.
THE SWEET MOUNTAIN DEW.
We declare in favor of proper regula-
tioD of the liquor traffic. and believe it
to be the duty of all good citizens to aid
in reducing to minimam the evils
resulting therefrom to this, and favor
submission of an amendment to the
Constitution for the license of such
traffic.

THE panscea for poverty is work, work
work. In this country nobody who
works intelligently need be poor, or is
poor. Everyone willing to work ener-
getically, to save his earnings and take
advantage of his opportunities has a
chance to grow what is called rich,
though between poverty and riches
there is long stride. No man is poor,
unless he chooses to think himself so,
who has house, fire. food, clothing. and
snug sum put aside for the rainy day.
Few people can enjoy more than that.

so far as the retail traffic in liquor is
concerned He decides, however, that
municipality las no right to prohibit
the selling of liquor by wholesale, and
that druggists cannot be compelled IN
der the Dow law to keep lists of persons
to whom they furnish liquors on pre-
scription. This decision probably fairly
defines the limits of municipal power
as regards the liquor traffic, and will be
taken as authority throughout the state.

A BILL has been introduced into the
Georgia Legislature prescribing pen
atty of $1,000 fine and six months on the
chain gang for any officer or teacher of
a white school who shall receive a COL
ored pupil, or any officer or teacher of a
colored school who shall receive a white
pupil. This is designed, first. as blow
at Atlanta University, established at an
expense of $350,OOO by the Christian
people of the north. and whose students
are mainly colored. but which also gen.
erously receives such white pupils as
apply. But, second, it is intended to
exclude the entire colored population of
Georgia from receiving any benefit from
the State University at Athens. which
was given $27O,00O by the United States
government under the agricultural COL
lege law. The bill is as dark and dam,
nable piece of legislation as was ever
hatched in the brain Of a Confederate
Democrat, but as "the war is over" it
will probably go through.
